I love both big and small dogs, I grew up with German Shepards. Why do you like small dogs over big dogs? They probably have the opposite reasons
My dad wouldn't ever own a small dog, even though he loves ours, because he says "they aren't real dogs" lol, or they lick to much, or have too much energy, or he would accidentally step on one, or they bark too much.
That's why people own different breeds and size of dogs. There is one for everyone
